A big thank you to my few followers readers and fans so far.
My plans for 2012 the year of the Snake.
Well yes some posts by words for Snake and also more radicals.
I also study ceramics so I'll be posting explaining the name of various glazes.

I'm working on a New Year's Greeting Card!
A Gwailo's View of Han Zi ! A Blog featuring my experiments with Han Zi and digital typographic art and articles on Chinese derived characters. Also some articles on Chinese characters in general and their use of multiple Asian languages.

A new logo for this blog
Please let me know what you think of this as a possible new logo header jpg for this blog?
This image was created using Inkscape .

Just a explanation and reminder of what Technozi is about:
